## This file describes sections and variables for PIConGPU's
## TBG batch file generator.
## These variables basically wrap PIConGPU command line flags.
## To see all flags available for your PIConGPU binary, run
## picongpu --help. The avalable flags depend on your configuration flags.
##
## Flags that target a specific species e.g. electrons (--e_png) or ions
## (--i_png) must only be used if the respective species is activated (configure flags).
##
## If not stated otherwise, variables/flags must not be used more than once!

## Section: Required Variables
## Variables in this secton are necessary for PIConGPU to work properly and should not
## be removed. However, you are free to adjust them to your needs, e.g. setting
## the number of GPUs in each dimension.

# Size of the simulation grid in cells as "X Y Z"
# note: the number of cells needs to be an exact multiple of a supercell
#       and has to be at least 3 supercells per device,
#       the size of a supercell (in cells) is defined in `memory.param`

################################################################################
## Section: Optional Variables
## You are free to add and remove variables here as you like.
## The only exception is TBG_plugins which is used to forward your variables
## to the TBG program. This variable can be modified but should not be removed!
##
## Please add all variables you define in this section to TBG_plugins.
